IN: Institute for Justice sues over cash seizure.

Per post and links to IJ.

2nd biggest Fedex hub is in Indy.

Cops routinely run dogs over parcels, seize those with cash, Marion County DA files for forfeiture. Claims it is proceeds of crime.

Virginia jewelry retailer shipped $42K cash to California supplier, cops grabbed money. No specific crime is alleged. Couple who own Cali business paired with IJ to sue to get money back.

Good for them SCOTUS needs to step up and stop these blatant fourth amendment violations…

Damn, they must really trust FedEx to send that through them. I barely trust that my dog food will be delivered property through FedEx.

That said, yes, very happy that this is getting cracked down on. Illegal asset forfeiture needs to stop.

"Indiana" is a State. Looks like Revolving Door Ryan is involved, but what entity is bringing in the dogs?

A similar thread was posted yesterday with an infuriating video of this despicable action.

That any property can be seized as related to a criminal activity without a crime being proven beyond a reasonable doubt against a person who possessed the property is a travesty.

They should get twice their money back.
Half for punitive damages.

I recall Sam Gedge taking on similar cases in Indiana over the past several years.

GIVE 'EM HELL, SAM, AND HANG 'EM HIGH!!

How Indiana Stole $42,000 From a Couple Without Ever Charging Them With a Crime <<< LINK

A California couple found themselves embroiled in a legal battle with the state of Indiana despite never having set foot there after law enforcement seized their property under civil asset forfeiture.

Horsewhipping is too good for these officials. Solitary confinement for life might begin to satisfy fairness and justice.

And the justices that let this stand! How can any constitutional based justice allow this to happen without probable cause to even seize it and without being proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is the proceeds of crime?

Good thing our boys and girls in blue are on the up and up, else this wouldn’t look good.

This may just be the most duplicated thread ever. I think we have had three threads on this topic.

They should sue for treble damages.
Unlawfully deprived of the use and possession of their asset.

I think this is more evidence of the desire of high ranking people to demonize cash. It goes clear back to the 1970 RICO laws that vilified cash over $10,000. Of course when it was made that would buy TWO new Buicks and some arm candy to ride in them Inflation has brought that amount down to a simple home repair, or an old low end car.

The assumption that large amounts of cash HAS to be implicated in crime is backed up by RICO. It has become so perverted that a person can Cash a paycheck near his work in Chicago. If he deposits cash in the night deposit of his bank in Indiana 6 weeks in a row he will get a visit as if he had done something wrong. That was in 1995. Keeping check stubs handy has become mandatory. With electronic payroll and automatic deposits, you have nothing to show the investigators.

The oppressors want total control. Controlling a person with financial pressure is so much cleaner than controlling them with bullets, and easier to target than bio weapons. It will be very difficult to stop the Law Enforcement from confiscating anything that has been demonized statutes and in the eyes of the sheeple.

Where are you getting this misinformation from?

Where are you getting this misinformation from?

Yeah, you do, just not on hand. For me it would require logging into ADP to print my own stubs.

But I'm pretty sure folks have provided paperwork that will explain away the cash, and it was confiscated anyway. Even proof you just sold a car or an email/text that you were driving to buy a car wasnt enough to stop the confiscation.

Life,

I have to look up and down load that information, and when the system is down, you cannot retrieve it. If they have had a mandatory password change since you logged on last, it often takes 24 hours before they let you log on again. When my financial information was hacked in 1998, it was a long difficult time to get any information. Not exactly handy like when they handed you a check with stubs.
